Americans must be on the lookout for hatemongering at universities

A few weeks ago, Daniel Pipes went boldly to London to speak at a conference hosted by none other than Red Ken Livingstone, to discuss the problems with terrorism around the world, and scored a surprising success. However, this week, he went to the Irvine University (H/T: Melanie Phillips), and there, there was certainly some bigotry present, even if there were Pipes supporters present there too:
At one point, at 12:00, the leader predicts that ‘it’s just a matter of time before the State of Israel will be wiped off the face of the map,’ in response to which the crowd, self-exiled, standing in the dark and the cold, yelled out ‘Takbir’ and ‘Allahu Akbar.’ In response, those who remained in the auditorium chanted ‘Am Yisrael Chai.’There may have been supporters of Pipes there too, but, such universities have still become something akin to safe havens for bigots and terrorist supporters, and it's a serious problem that needs to be discussed and debated, perhaps on network TV. The time has come to take back control of universities, and to rein in our children if we discover that they've gone over the brink.
